> community.mysql [1.5.0](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/releases/tag/1.5.0), [2.4.0](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/releases/tag/2.4.0) and [3.6.0](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mysql/releases/tag/3.6.0) have been released.

[mariolenz](https://matrix.to/#/@mariolenz:matrix.org) contributed

> As mentioned in [The Bullhorn #90](https://mailchi.mp/redhat/the-bullhorn-90), people stepped up and started to maintain `google.cloud` again. Therefor, we [had a vote on cancelling the removal process](https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/105#issuecomment-1412001896) - which was accepted. So this collection will stay in the community package!
> 
> Thanks [toumorokoshi](https://github.com/toumorokoshi) for reaching out to us and resurrecting the collection!

[felixfontein](https://matrix.to/#/@felixfontein:libera.chat) contributed

> community.docker 1.10.15 ([changelog](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/blob/stable-1/CHANGELOG.rst#v1-10-15)) has been released. This is the final release of the 1.x.y release stream; the `stable-1` branch is now End of Life. If you are still using it, please upgrade to community.docker 2.x.y or (better) 3.x.y. If you are still using Ansible 2.9 or ansible-base 2.10, you will have to use 2.x.y, as 3.x.y no longer supports these versions.
